CPU Spike bug Deluge 0.9.07

[nhasian]

I thought I read somewhere that the CPU Spike bug had been squashed, but it happened again to me today while using Deluge Deluge 0.9.07. I have a 2.4Ghz Centrino Duo and both processors were running at 100% I only had two torrents active downloading slowly about 15-20k a piece. I upgraded to Deluge 0.9.08 today but i didnt see any info in the changelog so i'm worried its gonna happen again. Maybe its my imagination but i could have sworn i smelled the plastic from my laptop melting with the CPUs running at 100 degrees C.

today I can confirm that the CPU Spike bug still exists in Deluge version 0.9.08 (RC8). After pausing all the torrents, everything returned to normal. Did i not post in the correct forum? I havent received any responses at all.

The bug is actually not a Deluge bug, but an asio one. We include a copy of asio in Deluge for users of boost 1.34, but since asio is now included in boost as of boost 1.35 we use that asio when available. So the bug only exists for users of boost 1.35. I would suggest either using boost 1.34 or boost 1.36.

Thanks for your response andar,

sorry i dont know what asio or boost is. i think your talking about boost 1.36.0 from http://www.boost.org. I downloaded boost 1.36.0 from sourceforge.net and installed it with the supplied instructions of just

Code: Select all

./configure

and

Code: Select all

sudo make install

(I'm using ubuntu linux 8.04). so is that it? will it fix the issue I'm experiencing with deluge? will the deluge binary automatically use the new boost or do i need to recompile deluge from sourcecode as well? Please advise.

I believe Ubuntu ships with boost 1.34, so that may not be the problem.

I haven't seen a cpu spike problem since we fixed it, so if it's something different then we'll need someone to profile it for us.

Hello andar,

how can i help squash this bug? I have captured two screenshots while running deluge 0.9.08. while torrents are active, the CPU spikes at 100%. if i pause all torrents, then cpu returns to normal
